Added Grill Protection

[Old Machinist]

Nothing fancy. Made a cardboard template to cut out a piece of expanded metal for added grill protection. I found the red edging on Amazon and it blends well with Kubota orange. I left it short enough o be able to open the grill guard back so the hood can still be opened. I am probably going to make a smaller piece to cover the bottom section.

I like it. Great job. Are you going to attach it is a different way than zip ties?

You have added no weight, you are no blocking air flow or lights, simple quick, love it.

I'm still thinking on the mounting.

A better more permanent mount would be some cross bars that would support id and bolt it in place but I will probably just replace the zip ties with stainless straps since I have some. It's not hindering opening of the hood so I won't have any need to remove it. I might even just use the heavier 100 lb plastic straps.

It is cut a little oversize so if anything hits it it should still add some protection before collapsing.

Like I said, still thinking.

Nice job!



I made a couple of these to clamp mine on with.

Pretty simple, yet very sturdy.

I did not like the idea of drilling into my new (at the time) tractor.

Used an old “inner tube” between them to prevent “chaffing”.
